[Pacemaker] Pacemaker 1.1.12 cib testing, crm_mon doesn't work

Fri Jun 13 09:35:01 CEST 2014

Hi,

The PCMK_ipc_buffer was already set to 10000000 (10M).

For testing I increased to buffer to 10000000 (100M), without results.

I decreased the buffer to the default 20480 (20K) as it then shows the 
suggested value.
If I leave it running for a couple of minutes I got these suggested values:

There is definitely something wrong. Is it the printing of the suggested 
value or is it something else ?

If I check the cib.xml files in /var/lib/pacemaker/cib/ all files are a 
bit smaller then 300K.

Changing these buffers did not solve my problem not getting results from 
crm_mon.
